Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: ABSTRACT It is an abridged form of Towards an Igbo Metaphysics in which Fr. Edeh used Igbo Metaphysics to articulate African philosophy. In this work, the concept of being is derived from the Igbo concept of man which is "Mmadi", the good that is. The goodness of being is derived from the fact of creation that means coming from the Supreme good "Chineke". Man is created by God as Chineke and continuously cared for by God as Osebuluwa. With this fact, man is dignified, deserves to be cared for and respected by fellow human beings, the good that are. The special characteristic of African Philosophy is that it is identified with thought and action (EPITAISM). For the fact that African Philosophy sees man as dignified, deserving respect, that makes African Philosophy different from the philosophy that sees man as wolf to man. If this African philosophy is widely accepted, it will certainly lead to the solving the problem of world peace.
